The contractor must provide cradle, cribbing, blocking, and seafastening for ocean transport; develop technical planning and pricing as part of a fixed-price lump sum arrangement; arrange a mutually-appointed independent marine surveyor per U.S. Navy Towing Manual specifications; and ensure cargo is certified as gas-free by a marine gas chemist prior to discharge. All operations must comply with the U.S. Navy Towing Manual.
Responses must include company information, vessel name and description with flag designation, lump-sum rate and demurrage pricing, confirmation of requirement compliance, estimated load and discharge rates, and small business status. The small business size standard under NAICS 483111 is 1,050 employees. Submit responses via email to Jordan Morrison (jordan.a.morrison5.civ@us.navy.mil).
